Dorsethieves have been particularly bold of late, and tk Mirihiiites a few days ago started on the trail of one band, followed it into ho Pan-Handle of Texas and then back into the Cheyenne country, overtaking it near Cantonment. Here a battle followed, resulting in the wounding of George Gaskill and Simeon Campbell, two of the vigilantes, and the capture of three of the thieves.

The Chicago Post s:iys: Corruption in almost every form pervades the police justice system of Chicago. The Justices themselves may not he guilty of contaminating their hands with base bribes, bar the hangers on in these so-called courts are usually men without principle, bent only on getting hold of the money of the unfortunate victims of police justices -is they can seize by means fair or fool. Nearly every station in which police court is held has as vicious criminals prominent in the proceedings as there are in the cells. The special bailor who robs the wretches who are arrested; the shyster lawyer; the man with a pull, who extorts money from the criminals under a specious promise of being aide to have their punishment mitigated, and last and most dangerous is the man who really has a "pull." who can secure the suspension of lines and who does so for a consid- ( ratio 1 paid to him by the prisoner.

Liabilities in the United Stab s were SITü.WJ.söi;. and in Canada $17,016,215. Neither the decrease of over half in this country, nor the increase of over JJ per cent, in Canada is surprising, but the statement shows that most of the decrease in the United States is in manufacturing liabilities, while the entire increase in Canada is in liabilities of trading concerns. A few States, including New York and Pennsylvania, show more failures than in 1883, and in a few Southern States the amount of liabilities is larger, but in central and WCStl rn States, very much smaller. The fsilures have been 12.5 in every thousand firms doing business; the liabilities have averaged SI.'IL'.TT to each firm in trade, and in proportion to the volume of solvent business represented by all clearing house exchanges, $7.k? for every $1,000.
